Chapter 9
"Well, I hope, your majesty," Jack told Elizabeth, "That you will clear me of all of my charges. This is Wil's sister, Celeste Turner." Elizabeth was shocked. Even though Jack was serious, she still could not believe it.
"But Wil," Elizabeth said, "You told me that your mother died in childbirth."
"It seems," said Jack, "That the baby didn't." Elizabeth understood what that implied.
"So," Elizabeth said as she walked to put her arms on Cel's shoulders, "You left a new born babe to fend for herself without even a mother?!"
"Our father came the next day.." Wil started.
"What if he hadn't? What if she had died? What if she had been raised as a slave? What if she.." Elizabeth started.
"What if there is no more time for what-ifs?" Jack said, "Because here comes company!" Jack got away, but before Cel could hide, the door opened.
